The 98 Neons with a five speed were rated at 41 mpg, but mine needed a TB from an automatic car and underdrive pulley kit to do it. My 95 Neon 5 speed got 42 with a performance (larger diameter) cat, automatic TB, and cheap V8 muffler at the back. Removal of the PS allowed it to get 46 mpg...spanking the heck out of the Smart car (premium gas), the Scion IQ, and the Fiat 500. BUT...my 96 Geo 3 banger got 60.1 with only a removal of 140 lbs...BUt IT GOT SPANKED by my wifes new Prius...an incredible 62.1 mpg without trying that hard at 55 mph 170 mile cruise...round trip so the wind direction and hills evened out.
